Three Thieves Steal Aquarium Shark in World"s Dumbest Heist
In a trully bizarre heist that may very well be the premise for the next Pain & Gain-style dark comedy, three absolute buffoons allegedly stole a shark from an aquarium.
Amazingly, they bundled up the shark in a stroller and disguised it as a baby.
We want to go ahead and reassure you that the shark was found safe and alive. But the twists and turns in this story are almost as unbelievable as the crime itself.
On Saturday, a shark was snatched from the San Antonio Aquarium in Texas.
As the aquarium shared on its Facebook page: "one of our employees reported seeing suspicious activity from a group of three people near one of our interactive shark touch tanks."
As you can see in the video, the suspicious activity was that the three alleged thieves caught a small shark with a net and stole her.
"Our General Manager, Jen Spellman, caught up with the suspects in the parking lot," the post reveals. "And was denied access to searching the vehicle and the stroller."
We can only imagine how that went down.
"Our 16-inch long Horn Shark was stolen from our tide pool exhibit while the attendant was assisting other guests," the aquarium reveals.
They continue, writing: "Surveillance video shows the suspects staking out the pool for over an hour for their opportunity."
"Surveillance footage also indicates that the suspects brought in a net to capture our shark," the page mentions.
"After grabbing our shark and placing her into a wet towel, they entered into one of our back rooms where they took a bucket that was half-full of bleach cleaning solution (used for disinfecting our tools)," the page explains. "And dumped it all into our cold water exhibit filtration system."
In case you are worried about some absolute monsters dumping a bleach cleaning solution into the aquarium"s filtration system, it was caught and the bleach was neutralized.
"This caused harm to multiple tanks, all of the tanks on that system, it is all connected. Including our seahorses, baby seahorses, jellies, and more."
According to the aquarium, had staff taken even a minute longer to notice that something was wrong, countless sea life from the aquarium would have perished.
"They then," the post reveals. "Took the sanitation bucket to aide in the transportation of the shark into the stroller, quickly exited up the stairs and out into the parking lot."
But the aquarium was already on their case, even though they were refused permission to search the trio"s belongings.
"We worked closely with Leon Valley and San Antonio Police Departments to recover our shark and apprehend the suspects," the page explains.
And there is good news!
"They located our shark, brought our Assistant Husbandry Director, Jamie Shank, there to identify Miss Helen and bring her back with us."
"Ammon Covino the owner of the San Antonio Aquarium wants to publicly show his appreciation to them for all the hard work they did in locating our shark," the post reads. "And allowing us to bring Miss Helen the Horn Shark back home."
Miss Helen might technically be considered evidence, but she"s also a sharknapping victim.
"We value the lives of all of our animals and take pride in the care that we can give them," the page says. "As well as the education that we can provide for the general public about these treasured species."
Here is Miss Helen, safe and sound.
"We are astonished but so grateful that she survived this catastrophic event," the aquarium writes.
"This guy knew what he was doing," they write begrudgingly. "Or she wouldn"t have survived."
A 38-year-old man who has not yet been identified has been arrested for taking the shark.
Police believe that he was seeking to replace a previous horn shark, who had died. Police found an aquarium at his home.
Investigators intend to arrest and charge the remaining two suspects when they are located.
This is a bizarre case. Despite some upsetting twists (though thankfully, Miss Helen is okay), it"s an entertaining story.
We can"t wait for the inevitable movie. We"re just surprised that, unlike Pain & Gain, this story won"t take place in Florida.

Kim Kardashian Yanked Out of Bed, Screamed Bloody Murder During Heist
Kim Kardashian’s horrifying robbery sounded intense as it was – yet these new details behind what really went down are nothing short of bone-chilling.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, the security guard involved in the incident reported terrifying details not previously known.
The hotel security guard revealed, “I went up to the apartment with the robbers.”
“I was tied up in the first minutes, with handcuffs,” he recalled, still traumatized about the episode.
“One was attacking her, [and] the second one was with me.”
“I saw Kim being pulled out of bed,” he remembered.
“[Kim was attacked by the intruder], holding his gun in her face,” he admitted.
“She was crying, she was screaming, saying ‘Don’t kill me, I have babies … I’m a mom!’ ”
“Take whatever you want,” Kardashian was said to cry.
The guard recalled that she was wearing a white bathrobe and that her hair was tied up.
“One of the gang kept telling her to shut up,” he continued.
“I put my hand on her shoulder and told her to be calm. I said, ‘You have to be silent, you know.’ ” he revealed.
“She sat down on the bed [and] asked me, ‘Are we going to die?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, how can I know’?”
Kim then started screaming, and the criminals taped her mouth shut – “a long piece of tape,” he recalled, “all the way ‘round her head.”
The security guard claimed that the men were outraged when Kim revealed – through the guard, who acted as a French interpreter to the men, who he believed to be in their 40s or 50s – that she didn’t have much cash on hand.
The intruders reportedly told Kim that they were there for money, and not to worry about being hurt.
“She was so scared,” the guard revealed.
He continued, and said that the intruders were dressed up in full police garb – hats, jackets, badges; the whole deal.
The guard also claimed that when the robbers made their entry into the building, they told him not to look at their faces, or he’d be killed.
“They were very violent,” he said, “shaking me, making me lie down on the floor.”
“In the first minute, I was on the floor, handcuffed with my hands in front.”
“It was very scary,” he added.
During the raid, Kim’s Blackberry was said to ring – it was her bodyguard.
The security guard advised the intruders that her bodyguard was calling, and if she didn’t answer, that he’d be there with the police shortly.
After packing up their horde of ill-gotten goods, the intruders were said to bind Kim’s feet with black tape, and dumped her unceremoniously into the bathtub.
The thieves then fled the scene.
It’s no wonder, actually, that Kim’s had to endure therapy for this incident.
We can’t even imagine the terror of the scene.
Good grief.
